Background, from PCIe specification 6.2. TLP Processing Hints (TPH) -------------------------- TLP Processing Hints is an optional feature that provides hints in Request TLP headers to facilitate optimized processing of Requests that target Memory Space. These Processing Hints enable the system hardware (e.g., the Root Complex and/or Endpoints) to optimize platform resources such as system and memory interconnect on a per TLP basis. Steering Tags are system-specific values used to identify a processing resource that a Requester explicitly targets. System software discovers and identifies TPH capabilities to determine the Steering Tag allocation for each Function that supports TPH. This patch adds steering tag support for mlx5 based NICs by: - Enabling the TPH functionality over PCI if both FW and OS support it. - Managing steering tags and their matching steering indexes by writing a ST to an ST index over the PCI configuration space. - Exposing APIs to upper layers (e.g.,mlx5_ib) to allow usage of the PCI TPH infrastructure. Further details: - Upon probing of a device, the feature will be enabled based on both capability detection and OS support. - It will retrieve the appropriate ST for a given CPU ID and memory type using the pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() API. - It will track available ST indices according to the configuration space table size (expected to be 63 entries), reserving index 0 to indicate non-TPH use. - It will assign a free ST index with a ST using the pcie_tph_set_st_entry() API. - It will reuse the same index for identical (CPU ID + memory type) combinations by maintaining a reference count per entry. - It will expose APIs to upper layers (e.g., mlx5_ib) to allow usage of the PCI TPH infrastructure. - SF will use its parent PF stuff.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
